the Mavic's 78 degree FOV is not enough for me. I need the 94. In fact, I prefer the 104 FOV on my Phantom 2. I shoot big things, not people.
You can see a comparison here.I'd like to see in a review an actual video or picture displaying the difference (78 vs. 94 FOV).

That's a 7 km transmission range, not 7 miles, and the total flight distance maxes out at 8 miles total, because of the battery. This won't be a long distance flyer.I fly with a Trackimo and I am not sure about the ability to mount one on the Mavic. I also use a GetterBack when flying over water and I like using an iPad mini for a screen. Finally, I use an Itelite MaxxRange antenna panel from Jake and do some distance flights. I know the Mavic reportedly has a 7 mile transmission range, but I do not know if that is just the range for video transmission, or if that actually is the range of the drone. There is no way I can see making a 14 mile round trip flight on a single battery under any circumstances. If I did not already have the P4, I would seriously consider the Mavic. But with the amount I have invested and with the way I fly my P4, I think that I will not be getting a Mavic.
If that is the case, all the P3/P4 modded transmitters would work with the Mavic to extend the control range out to 10 miles! Now we need a battery mod to support more than an 8 mile flight! Except, I doubt the Mavic is capable of any additional weight for extra batteries. It's already tweaked for optimum efficiency for its size and weight.I knew I read this somewhere before , it was Big Chuck from DBS mods saying this . He said Give it a minit... the controller that comes with P4 Pro or Inspire 2 will bind with this and give full function... I guarantee it...
I thought that, too! I missed the P4 "Pro" ! Makes more sense now...I can agree with this since all near future aircraft will use OcuSync. I thought you were referring to a P4 remote controller above -- when you said the "P4".
I know , bummed me out after that was pointed out.I thought that, too! I missed the P4 "Pro" ! Makes more sense now...
The year is still young. Perhaps DJI still has some new models up their sleeve -- like a P4 Pro with OcuSync.I missed the P4 "Pro"
Going to keep my Ph 4:
I am looking for a Yaw Roll Motor for a PH 4 gimbal - I am repairing the Ph 4 myself and have everything together - when I noticed the cable ribbon on my Yaw Roll motor torn. This ribbon cable is integrated into the motor (hard wired - if you will) and is not part of the cable ribbon package offered by DJI. I do not want to put out $400 for a new gimbal set up when all I need is a $10 motor - anyone know where I might find one? DJI does not sell the motor separate for the PH 4.
Here's picture of motor

I started off comment relative to thread - then sent my desperate plea for motorErrrm, not sure if we can help you but what does this has to do with this thread? Didn't you post already below:
Phantom 4 Yaw Roll Motor
I doubt you may find the motor alone as a part yet I'd have a look at parts coming from crashed Phantom 4's.
The Phantom 2 Non Vision was the last craft supplied with a screw driver.I personally also think that shell replacements and self-repairs will be much more difficult with the Mavic, but that remains to be seen.
